Commodore launches flip phone blocking social media

Commodore has launched the Callback 8020, a new flip phone designed to limit social media and internet browsing. The device runs on the Linux-based Sailfish OS, offering a de-Googled experience and compatibility with many Android apps like WhatsApp and Spotify. Commodore emphasizes privacy by not collecting user data and has implemented system-level blocks and DNS-level restrictions to prevent access to social media and web browsers, while still allowing for essential communication and navigation.
